In full: Very good inaugural event. Good parking/organisation/bag drop. Friendly people all round. Only 300 runners because roads are rural but not closed off. It got a bit lonely as we were stretched out and support was limited. Very undulating with a couple of tough hills in warm weather. Very good first effort indeed. Well done.Date of review: March 12, 2012

In short: Would not of guessed it was a first time raceIn full: Easy to find, no issues parking, staggered start so quickes not held up in the pack. Well marshalled excellent water stations with energy gels ( banana!!!) not as flat as I had expected, undulating mostly, flat sections seemed to be met with head wind. Weather was very warm. Scorpions tail at mile 12 was harsh took away any chance I had of a PBS. Finish line area very lively with plenty to do for family / friends or non runners. Goody bag was excellent and time displayed at finish along with speedy results link to website. Would defo recommend to anyone. Only 248 finishers from a sold out field of 300 doubt that many failed to turn up so maybe a few drop outs on a warm day and slightly challenging course.Date of review: March 11, 2012

In short: Really well organised race. In full: Really enjoyed this race. Several small hills, a couple of steeper ones(the one on 12 miles was a little cruel!)Good marshalling, perfectly positioned water stations, nice scenery, and whoever orgainsed the weather deserves a pint from us all. Sunny but not too hot. Perfect. I've done several races which have been going for years that are lagging far behind this inaugural race. Great job and thankyou for a great morningDate of review: March 11, 2012

In short: A superb first time raceIn full: What a fab day! The organisers have done a super job of putting on a great race. The course was undulating and the scopions tail was a stinger but that all added to the fun of the day. Fab goodie bag, great support from the locals and a lively finishing area. BRILLIANT! :-)Date of review: March 11, 2012

In short: If you like Chippenham Half, you'll love thisIn full: For a first time running of the event it was extremely well done. Not as flat as expected but a nice challenge. It reminded me a lot of Chippenham Half marathon - beautiful scenery, excellent organisation (even some concerns over car parking did not materialise), friendly marhsalls and a real community feel to it BUT only 300 people made it a really special event. Support around the course was minimal but the finish was very lively and I expect the enthusiastic PA announcer is as tired as many of the runners this evening! Thank you to everyone involved.Date of review: March 11, 2012

In short: Fun course, well organised and very well supported - well worth the drive!In full: I thought this was an excellent event - the finishing area was swinging, the route was scenic, well marshalled and very well supported (glorious weather today as well). I suspect that with the relative inaccessibility of the location and limit on available parking, this one probably won't be rivalling the Great North Run any time soon, but I'd definitely love to be back next year for more of the same!Date of review: March 11, 2012
